Luxurious bathroom updates

When considering a remodeling project it's always important to plan and budget wisely. Whether your project is big or small, remodeling a bathroom can provide a high impact update for a reasonable budget!
Here are a few fabulous ideas for a $5000 bathroom remodel!

1

Vanity

Replace an old, worn-out or dated vanity with a brand new stylish one! Custom cabinets may be out of your budget but it is easy to find an amazing vanity and mirror combo in stunning styles and colors for a reasonable price.

Lighting

Changing out light fixtures is a simple DIY update that does not take very long to do and does not have to be very expensive. However, it can completely transform a bathroom into an amazing sanctuary! Just be sure to find a light fixture that will provide enough lighting to easily accomplish bathroom tasks such as shaving and putting on make-up etc..

Tile

Having a nice tile installed in your bathroom or doing it yourself can add a wonderful ambience to your bathroom. Travertine tile is an amazing option to create an upscaled look yet it is classic enough to be stylish for years to come.

Towel rack

Nothing says luxury like stepping out of the shower and wrapping up in a plush, heated towel! Installing a heated towel rack in your bathroom will transform your typical morning into a spa-like experience! Our pick:

Shower head

While you are replacing faucets, do not forget to upgrade your shower head and handle as well! Find a shower head that suits your personal preference but if possible, stick to the same finish and style as in the rest of your bathroom faucets.

Sunlight

Adding a burst of natural sunlight to a bathroom will not only give amazing free lighting in the room but it will also provide a custom feature without a custom price. Adding a tubular skylight will provide the room with natural sunlight while keeping your privacy at a maximum. Be sure to pick a style that will work in your home.
